Urban Outfitters won’t carry blog’s book after snarky posts

Urban Outfitters may sell its share of novelty T-shirts, but don’t expect the company to take any trash talk.

The clothing and hipster tchotchke purveyor has refused to stock Gawker Media blog Jezebel’s book, “The Book of Jezebel: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Lady Things," after the snarky website snarked a few too many times about the brand.

Here’s a sample of some recent stories on Jezebel about Urban Outfitters:

The Daily News didn’t offer a quote from Urban Outfitters, but did confirm that the decision not to sell the book was directly related to Jezebel’s coverage of the brand. An unnamed source did say that Jezebel’s publisher was expecting the chain to carry the book, because “it is a book their customers would buy.”
